“Landlord John lines up the putt. If he can make this then he is sure to be crowned the winner of the Mists of Desire Open. The ball sways from left to right, it’s heading to the centre of the cup… and it’s in! John win’s the most prestigious golfing tournament in the further realm, and he’s off to the bar to celebrate!”. No, The Moon Under Water doesn’t host it’s own golf tournament; but if it did it’d certainly feature this week’s guest. It’s Rick Shiels!Rick is the biggest golf influencer on YouTube with almost 3 million subscribers! But one thing that not many people know is that he’s equally happy sinking pints as he is putts. He’s about to create his own ‘Pub of the Mind’, and we can’t wait to hear what it’s like. Want to hear an extended version of this episode, gain access to our bonus podcast ‘Behind The Cellar Door’ and support the upkeep of the pub?

*This is part 2 of Phil Wang’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*The Moon Under Water has been lucky enough to play host to some of the greatest Pubsmen of all time. Those people that have experienced every type of establishment, no matter where or what it stocks. Phil is a comedian, writer, and host of the smash-hit podcast ‘BudPod’ (no, it’s not a rival beer-themed podcast). But most of all Phil is an expert on old-time pubs. He wants his pubs to be poorly lit but well stocked, and you can be sure that his ‘Pub of the Mind’ will reflect his preferences. Want to hear an extended version of this episode, gain access to our bonus podcast ‘Behind The Cellar Door’ and support the upkeep of the pub?

Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*As wordsmiths of the Further Realm Landlord John and Robin are both familiar with alehouse lexicon. Whether it be “Handeth me thyne flagon of ale good Sir” or “Pint of numbers please big man”, they understand that pubs and words go hand in hand.

*This is part 2 of Sofie Hagen’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*Though Denmark is known for being rather steep when it comes to alcohol pricing that hasn’t stopped it from producing some of the finest Pubgoers of all time.

Thankfully Landlord John and Robin are on hand to help answer that, as well as help her build her dream tavern.Want to hear an extended version of this episode, gain access to our bonus podcast ‘Behind The Cellar Door’ and support the upkeep of the pub?

*This is part 2 of Laura Thompson’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*Authors play a huge role in maintaining pub lore.

This week's guest is one such author, it's the wonderful Laura Thompson!Laura's book "The Last Landlady" already sits upon a shelf in the Pub Library, so we're over the moon with her joining us in the correct realm.

Since we launched The Moon Under Water we've been offering a very special benefit to those who subscribe to our top tier on Patreon (Legends Under Water). Anyone who donates £8 a month to help support the pub is forever immortalised in one of our monthly Patrons' Poems, which is included in our bonus monthly episode Behind The Cellar Door (that's available to anyone who subscribes to the top two tiers!). Landlord John takes care of the lyrics, whilst Robin looks after the music; a bit like an other-worldly version of Lennon and McCartney.Well, good news! To make sure the Patrons' Poems get the recognition they deserve, from next week we'll be featuring them in the final episode of the main podcast each month. That way your name will be forever inscribed in verse for the whole world to hear.But if you've already been included in a Patrons' Poem then fear not! This episode features all the poems that have been created so far, as well as a running commentary from John and Robin on how they went about creating each one. If YOU want to have your name included in a Patrons' Poem then head to moonunderpod.com and become a Legend Under Water. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

*This is part 2 of Oliver Peyton’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*In the other realm the UK is known the world over for its pubs. In fact, one could argue that it has the highest amount of good pubs per capita in the world (though we’re led to believe that Tefota in Tuvalu is a belter which might mean they take that crown). But our food has always been somewhat lacking on the world stage. That’s changing, and this week’s guest is someone that’s had the privilege of trying some of the best food Britain has to offer. It’s restaurateur Oliver Peyton!Oliver was a long-time judge on Great British Menu, a TV show that has made Landlord John weep openly on more than one occasion. But he’s not just an expert on food; he also knows a thing or two about alcohol, and you can be sure that his dream pub is going to be something very special.Want to hear an extended version of this episode, gain access to our bonus podcast ‘Behind The Cellar Door’ and support the upkeep of the pub?

So far the library has been stocked by over 40 books, each one detailing some aspect of the beauty of pubs (although to be fair some of those links have been quite tenuous). Our guest this week is someone whose writing sits atop one of the shelves at The Moon Under Water, it's author and genuine pub legend Pete Brown!After Emma Inch and Lily Waite before him, Pete is the third 'Beer Writer of the Year' to join us in the correct realm, and he is arguably Britain's most beloved writer of all things alehouse. Is there anything about beer than Pete doesn't know? Probably not; but I'm sure Landlord John and Robin will double check by asking him every possible question there is about everyone's favourite golden nectar.Want to hear an extended version of this episode, gain access to our bonus podcast ‘Behind The Cellar Door’ and support the upkeep of the pub?
